Many registration resources that are referenced in this section can be found on the Rutgers Business School (RBS) website at business.rutgers.edu/admissions/graduate.

Formal admission to RBS and payment, or arrangement with the cashier regarding payment, of tuition and fees are a part of the registration process. Students who have not properly registered cannot attend class.

All students who complete registration on time receive registration information for the following semester. Those who take part in registration receive semester bills for the following semester. All students, regardless of method of payment, must make contact with the cashier each semester or their registration will be canceled.

Students who do not receive registration information by May 15 for the fall semester and by October 15 for the spring semester should contact the RBS Office of Student Services. Newly admitted students receive complete registration instructions at the time of their admission. It is the responsibility of the student to remain in communication with the graduate director of the program for which he or she is matriculated.

A student admitted into an RBS degree program is expected to remain registered in every fall and spring semester thereafter until completing the program and earning the degree. Normally a student registers for courses and, if necessary, may register for matriculation continued (leave of absence). Any student who fails to maintain continuous registration (nonenrolled for three consecutive semesters) may not resume formal graduate study or register again in RBS without first applying for readmission through the Office of Student Services.

Registration for Continuing Students
Information for use of the online registration system is made available at the website business.rutgers.edu/admissions/graduate approximately two months before the start of each trimester.

Registration for New Students
New student registration takes place in person at orientation. Information about orientation is mailed to new students by Rutgers Business School: Graduate Programs–Newark and New Brunswick Office of Admissions. If not received, students are responsible for obtaining this information.

Full-Time and Part-Time Students
For most purposes, a full-time student is defined as one who is registered for 12 or more credits. Anyone who registers for 11 or fewer credits is a part-time student. All courses, including courses of research and regular courses taken as "not for credit" (E and N prefixes), are counted in measuring the student's recordable program of work. These regulations govern tuition charges, student fees, statistical records, residency requirements, and other issues affected by definitions of full-time and part-time status.  

Trimester Bill
New and continuing students receive preprinted trimester bills from the Office of the Bursar. Late registrants for any trimester must obtain the bill from the Office of Student Services at the time of their registration. On-time payment of trimester bills prevents the cancellation of registration and the assessment of a late payment fee.

Transfer of Credit
See program descriptions.

Immunizations
By law, the university requires that all persons born after 1956 have immunization against certain diseases prior to enrollment. Every student should have received an immunization form; if not, be sure to bring with you proof (signed by a doctor) that you have received two doses against measles, mumps, and rubella. Exemptions can be made only for medical or religious reasons, upon written request. For more information, call 732-932-8429 or 973-353-5231.
